Cost Breakdown

Recommended Tools & Supplies

Heavy-Duty Gate Hinges

Sized for gate weight — use at least 3 hinges on taller gates

Self-latching spring latch keeps gate closed without manual engagement

Drop Rod for Double Gate

Pins the inactive panel to the ground on double driveway gates

Slides into ground socket to hold inactive gate panel secure

Gate Spring Closer

Automatically closes gate after entry — great for pool or pet enclosures

Fence Post (gate post)

Gate posts carry hinge load — use a full post set in concrete

Pro Tips

✓ Gate posts carry all the weight — set them at least 3 ft deep in concrete
✓ Use 3 hinges on any gate taller than 5 ft or wider than 4 ft
✓ Double gates need a drop rod on the passive panel to hold alignment
✓ A self-closing spring is required by code around most pools
✓ Metal gate hardware outlasts wood screws — use exterior-grade stainless or galvanized only
